Friendly Competition<\/p>\n

\u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d kicked off with \u201ca quick programming note\u201d on Wednesday, with the host sharing that the show would go dark on Thursday \u201cout of respect for our colleague and friend, Stephen Colbert, and the writers, producers, staff and crew at \u2018The Late Show,\u2019 whose final show on CBS airs opposite ours.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone at that show has always been very gracious to us,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cWe never felt like we were competing against them. It was nothing like the old days of late night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to send a 94-year-old man to jail? What\u2019s the point? Everywhere that guy sits is death row.\u201d \u2014 RONNY CHIENG, on the Trump administration indicting Ra\u00fal Castro on Wednesday<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s so old, he needs help walking from another old guy. Where are you going to find a jury of his peers, with a Ouija board?\u201d \u2014 RONNY CHIENG<\/p>\n

\u201cCastro is 94 years old. If he\u2019s convicted, he\u2019s facing a possible life sentence of six months.\u201d \u2014 JIMMY KIMMEL<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are we going to do with a 94-year-old prisoner? That guy won\u2019t make it to the end of his next cigar.\u201d \u2014 JIMMY KIMMEL<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, man, the charges are from 1996? That was 30 years ago. He was only, what, 64 at the time? I mean, we all do crazy [expletive] when we\u2019re young.\u201d \u2014 RONNY CHIENG<\/p>\n
